Setting: starting from pg. 5 the setting was in the Mirror Lake Internment camp, dating back in 1942. One scene was when the characters were concerned with two questions I pg. 128 saying "No one knows what will happen if you answer yes to both questions or what will happen if you answer no...Kenny's father says that Japan is the only place they'll be safe." This scene shows the people's mistrust in the government.

The genre of this book is historical and realistic fiction. The book's main plot was about a real life person named Ben Uchida's P.O.V of his life in the Mirror lake internment camp. Key factors, such as Mirror lake or Ben Uchida are real places and people are pieces of evidence that this was a historical genre.

Currently I've finished reading on pg. 54 today and started reading on pg. 38. Most of the story in between those pages was about the MC-Ben Uchida in the mess hall eating with a friend or playing baseball in the fields. Though this isn't much so far, as the story kept on progressing it began to be much more interesting.
